This one is for the fans. I bantered about with the idea last night, but what I'm seeing on the forum this morning has given me the impetus to actually do it.

1. CHICKEN: Most of what's being posted on here is chicken #%@! right now. And for me, that's strong language, because I don't have those things in my vocabulary. I'm just that SICK of reading it. (yes, I know "then stay off the forum"....etc.) No one is annoyed more than me, but for God's sake suck it up and SHUT UP already! Some of your are ready to storm Fenway, lynch BC, BV, and Luccino, and burn the stadium down. We're three games into the season, and it may well get worse before it gets better, but it WILL get better. Do you think the team is going to lose 100 games? NYY are 0-3, do you think they should cut Sabathia? I'm really glad the team doesn't feel about itself the way the fans do. If they did, they'd go 1-161. Get over it.

2. BEER: I have absolutely no doubt that alcohol is involved in the creation of most of these threads. It HAS to be, no one could post some of the drivel I've read on here the last four days without being sloppy drunk. Trade Ellsbury, release Crawford, release Beckett, Aviles and Punto are no good (despite both getting 3 hits each yesterday), Bucholz is washed up (despite having not pitched since last June), bring back Wakefield, (really?), fire Valentine.....etc. ad nauseum. So sleep it off, pick yourself up and get back to work. If the players don't do that (and they will) why bother even playing the games? Hand the division to the Rays and go fishing/golfing/hunting/dress shopping.

They will be 1-5 after the Toronto series. Bobby V deserved a better chance but he signed on and how gets to suffer through the mess.

Meantime Joe Madden stands baseball on its head by employing the goofiest defenses and moving guys around in the batting order by quick pick lotto. The Sox will need more genius like that to compete in 2012.

It's no secret why Tampa does well. They have starting pitchers that overachieve , unlike our guys who have consistently underachieved since '07. The goofy defenses are just a sideshow. The real show is James Shields and David Price.
